Janice, **OT** I too found FNTN to be a great short in the first SI International contest. That and AMZN (short, pure luck) allowed me to finish in the top 20. BTW I haven't seen my T-shirt, how about you? (Hint..Hint.. TLC). What would your first impression be of a company whose founder and Chairman of the Board was a stock broker, market maker and CBOE options trader. One that was suspended for a year for fighting on the CBOE floor. Incorporated in NV of course. The COB's NASD records show that he currently works for the company and Empire Financial which seems to be a big advertiser on the company website. Tons of insiders filing 144s but no form 4s filed. Reports of insider selling and confirmation from the CEO that some insider have sold, yet Form 4s never seem to show up on YHOO's insider trading. Early on, may-june, a paid (by the company) PR firm representative posting on the thread incognito. Once discovered, the PR firm was dismissed, it was all just a mistake. No product that anyone can explain, announced expected revenues on deals that end up falling apart but no revenue that can be seen, non-reporting, but will become a reporting company next quarter. If you need to keep track of when the company will report just add one to the current quarter. Jim B posted today, probably saw the unusual action on the stock. Very high volume (775,100 shares) and as of 3:00 today a good gain. There's no Webkmaster and so far, not a single Indian to answer questions. Late breaking news. The old PR firm (CHEZ), the one dismissed last may-june, with a poster named HumanCash, is a 10% or greater owner of the company. biz.yahoo.com Here is the website: chezinc.com The Ragging Bull thread for this one is particularly good, it seems to be a war between muckrakers and promoters. The SI thread has been dead. If questioned the SI promoters go to PM's and newsletters. Oh, did I mention that a MTEI friend name Cliff was silenced after the CEO of the company called his boss and corporate lawyers. I think the CEO just wanted to let them know that they had an employee posting on company time. Kinda low in my opinion. Tom Disclaimer: Some of this post is opinion, some is fact.
